Explain how the difference voltage in Figure 20-37 reduces noise from source flicker.

What is the role of a filter in a grating monochromator?
Consider a planar waveguide used for attenuated total reflection measurement of a film coated on one surface of the waveguide. For a given angle of incidence, the sensitivity of attenuated total reflectance increases as the thickness of the waveguide decreases. Explain why. (The waveguide can be less thanthick.)
A spectrum has a signal-to-noise ratio of 8/1. How many spectra must be averaged to increase the signal-to-noise ratio to 20 / 1?
Explain why the transmission spectrum is calculated from the quotient (sample transform) M(background transform) instead of the difference (sample transform) - (background transform).
